Well, sad news, folks, reality has come crashing back down and I have realized, for perhaps the fifth straight time, that I have absolutely NO PLACE trying to do a damn game, as it becomes increasingly obvious that everything I touch turns to absolute suck. I can only say that I'm grateful for the fact that I've realized this now, when we've only put some basic time into character creation, rather than letting it die slowly and painfully just as it's beginning, as the other games have gone by. Sorry, Muse, but it looks like you're still the only one who can muster an Exalted game around here.
